    I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over
    the next six years,I was treading water,just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn't think
    I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher.
    I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
    I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000
    words.
    It takes confidence to make a new start - there's a dark period in-between where you're neither one
    thing nor the other. You're out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you're too ashamed to say,
    "Well, I'm writing a navel, but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there." My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
    Then I met an agent(代理商)who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my
    surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer
    and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
    The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and
    wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal - that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
    It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck - of fate, really. When you set out to do something different,
    there's no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合
    同)of the publisher - to be a published writer - is unbelievably rewarding(有回报的).

    2. The author decided to write a novel ______ .

    D. to earn more money
    3. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?
    A. Disturbed.
    B. Ashamed.
    C. Confident.
    D. Uncertain.
    4. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?

    B. Hard work can lead to success.
    C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.

故事类阅读

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 故事类阅读

故事类阅读概念:

这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局,有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手,考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。


故事类阅读应试技巧:

1、抓住文章的6个要素:
阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序。因此,无论是顺叙还是倒叙,阅读此类文章时,必须要找到它结构中的5个W(when, where, who, why, what)和1个H(how),不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素。毫无疑问,寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件。
2、注意作者的议论和抒情:
高考英语阅读理解故事类文章常伴随着作者思想情感的流露和表达,因此议论和抒情往往夹杂其中。行文时或按事情发生发展的先后时间进行或按事情发生发展的地点来转换,也可能按事情发展的阶段来布局。在引出话题,讲完一件事情后,作者往往会表达个人感悟或提出建议等。这些体现作者观点或思想的语句在阅读时可以划线,它们往往体现文章中心或者写作意图,属于必考点,所以要仔细体会。
3、结合前两点归纳文章中心,把握作者态度:
故事类文章是通过记叙一件事来表达中心思想的,它是文章的灵魂。归纳文章中心思想时,尤其要分析文章的结尾,因为很多文章卒章显志,用简短的议论、抒情揭示文章中心;文章中议论抒情的句子往往与中心密切相关;也有的文章需要在结合概括各段大意的基础上归纳中心。另外,叙述一件事必有其目的,或阐明某一观点,或赞美某种品德,或抨击某种陋习,这就要求我们在阅读时,通过对细节(第1点中的六要素)的理解,把握作者的态度。
4、有章有据进行解题判断:
分析文章,归纳主题,属于分析、概括、综合的表述能力的考查。切忌脱离文章,架空分析,一定让分析在文章中有依据。
